w.a.n.g Yong approached her as soon as she walked out of the toilet, " Are you okay? "

Zhi Ruo tried to quickly come up with an excuse and ended up saying that she was too excited about their date and ended up panicking a bit.

w.a.n.g Yong didn't quite believe her story but seeing that she didn't want to talk about it, he decided to not push further.

He gently took her hand and gave her back the bouquet of flowers, " Don't be too nervous, we'll be going on dates together for the rest of our lives, you will have to get used to it. "

Zhi Ruo looked at his gentle smiled and felt a bit conflicted, ' Is the reason we are dating because of the power of the plot too? Are our feelings real? '

Gloomy thoughts started swirling in her head. However, Zhi Ruo knew that if she dwelled into it too much, it would affect her current happiness. Right now, all she wanted was to spend time with w.a.n.g Yong, she could figure out everything else later...hopefully...

Zhi Ruo forced herself to smile and nodded, " Hmm, you are right. Let's go now or we won't have time to eat. "

w.a.n.g Yong immediately caught her forced smile and his mood dampened.

They got in the taxi and headed to the breakfast restaurant 10 minutes away.

w.a.n.g Yong and Zhi Ruo sat in the back seat of the car while he played with her hand.

" Zhi Ruo. " w.a.n.g Yong gently called out.

" Yeah? " she answered.

" What was the event that the man was talking about? " w.a.n.g Yong inquired.

Zhi Ruo paused for a second and replied nonchalantly, " It was nothing. I just helped him pick up his hotel card and his partner thought I was his mistress. She got really mad and wanted to slap me, but I stopped her...Either way, I already handled the situation, not a big deal. "

w.a.n.g Yong frowned, ' Mistress? Slap you? '

" You didn't tell anyone because you thought it wasn't a big deal? " w.a.n.g Yong questioned, his voice light yet his mood heavy.

" Well, n.o.body got hurt and I also didn't say nice words... " Zhi Ruo lightly smiled.

" It is a big deal though. " w.a.n.g Yong said in a calm voice but not the usual gentle one.

" You didn't tell anyone because you knew it was a big deal and didn't want us to overreact. " w.a.n.g Yong unhappily frowned.

Zhi Ruo bit her lower lip and refuted, " That's not true, I truly thought that it wasn't something bad. It's my life so I can decide what I want to do with it. "

" You could have a least told me. The fact that a rich young master named Gabriel Chadwick wanted to compensate you means that the situation was not on a small scale. " w.a.n.g Yong looked at her.

" It's not like you could do something about a situation that already happened. " Zhi Ruo answered coolly, ' Why do I feel like we are getting into a fight? '

w.a.n.g Yong scrutinized her and pondered. He was born in the upper echelon of society and he knew very well that the powerful and rich people took offences very seriously, they would not be this indifferent or calm about these situations as their reputation was very important to them and would somehow take revenge or at least be mad.

Yet, Zhi Ruo didn't follow this pattern and seemed truly unconcerned by the fact that people soiled her reputation, calling her mistress and wanting to slap her. But more than not caring about her reputation, it was more like she was personally unaware of the importance of public image and the power she held.

How would this be possible if she grew up in one of the richest families in the continent?

w.a.n.g Yong sighed and squeezed her hand, " That's true but if this happens more than once and each time you are so unconcerned about it, I will constantly worry and this could damage your reputation. At least, tell me next time. "

Zhi Ruo saw the concern in his eyes and eventually nodded, " I will. "

w.a.n.g Yong smiled at her answer and kissed her forehead, " Good. Now let's both stop talking about gloomy things. "

Zhi Ruo laughed and agreed, " Very true, it's our first date after all. "

...

" Justin, you are a big boy now! You are capable of eating alone, why do you always need me to feed you? " a mother complained to her six-year-old son in a breakfast restaurant.

The little boy pouted and flung his head the other way. That was the exact moment that his gaze landed on a beautiful Asian couple. Surprise filled his eyes, and he immediately pointed to them for his mom, " Look, mom! The big sister over there is already so old but her boyfriend is still feeding her! "

The mom got embarra.s.sed and scolded him for being rude.

Meanwhile, Zhi Ruo, who had heard everything, blushed and asked, " Are we that childish? "

w.a.n.g Yong chuckled and wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin, " It doesn't matter as long as my Ruoruo is happy. "

Zhi Ruo flushed at his flirty line and hid her face in between her palms, ' Big boss's flirting skills are too deadly! '
